Stammering Molotov Becomes Likely Successor to Stalin

Revolutionist At 17
He Is Alter Ego to

BY PROF. T. J. B WINNER
NEA Service Writer
Sonet Russia is currently looking
• t the world through the pince-nez
glasses that perch on the nose of
her kewpie-faced foreign comims-
sai-premier Viacheslav Mikhailov-
ich Molotov.
His recent harangue at the dem-
ocracies for prolonging Europe s
war and the “war ol nerves" clamp-
ed against Finland for refusing
Russian military demands throw-
light on the personality background
and outlook of the man who since
last May has been direct mg affairs
a the Sonet foreign office.
Many informed persons in the
Soviet Union now- consider Molotov
the logical successor to Stalin now-
approaching 60.
Molotov is SUlm's alter ego.
Forty-nine years of age and son
cf a clerk he won his spurs by
becoming a revolutionist at 17 and
a Siberian exile in his twenties.
Ever since he has been stumping
for Soviet “ideology ' in general
and Joseph Stalin in particular.
Careful Grooming
In personal appearance he Ls not
unlike the late Theodore Roose-
velt. He is pale rather thick-set
with heavy shoulders and seems
out of place among most of his
cdftafcues because of his Angio-
•rfstocratic bearing and careful
attention to grooming. Like Rvkov
whom he replaced as chairman of
the Council of People s Commis-
sars. he speaks with a noticeable
stammer.
During my recent trip to the
Soviet Union. I found hta picture
everywhere often beside those of
Lenin and Stalin. Sometimes en-
tire top-stories ot Souet office
buildings arc covered by canvas
poster-portraits of the Soviet quad*
rumvirate; Lenin. Stalin Molotov
and Voroshilov commissar of de-
fense.
The foreign commissar is pop-
ular and personably capable but
is destined to remain a figure-
head so long as Stalin is master
in the Kremlin. Close observers
of long experience in the capital
refer to him as the Georgians
“good man Friday.-'
Hadn't laced Firing Squad
For 18 years he has been the im-
mediate assistant of Stalin and has
escaped the successive purges which
have depleted the ranks of the Old
BolshevUti.
As ne c master at the lomgn
office <which has known only
three changes in its leadership in
the Iasi 21 year>—Chicherm. Lit-
vinoff and Molotov» he is one ot
the youngest foreign ministers in
Europe; speaks German and French
fluently.
Molotov is hardly known out-
side of Russia but Ids wife now-
head ot the Soviet Cosmetics
trust visited the United States in
1936
On March 22 1939. at a plenary
meeting ol the Cui’.al Comn.iMee
oi the Communist Pam. Molotov
was elected to the powerful inner
Political Bureau of the party
which makes decisions followed
by the government.
I»k addition to being premier and
cKan nan of the Council of Peo-
ples Commissars member ol the
Political Bureau and Coninu ar

The name of V. Molotov is af-
fixed to every decree in the Souet
Union. First attention was called
to him outside Russia when he
denounced Col. Charles Lindbergh
